I tend to gravitate to the richer colors...brown, beige, black, cream. Maybe it's because I have one piece of living room furniture and that's a brown chair and ottoman. I really don't like carpets with light backgrounds. I just think the dark rich colors are prettier.
This is a silk on silk, 3'x5', has 900 knots per square inch and comes from the Kashmir region. Silk carpets have a light side and a dark side. If you look at them from one side, the colors are much lighter. Look at it from the opposite side and the colors darken. This is because the rugs are woven on a vertical loom and the weaver will yank down on each knot, causing the nap or pile to go one way. Thus, a dark and light side to each silk carpet.
